Ashlyn’s coach, coach Tharp, had some good things to say about her: “Ashlyn will be very missed as a person and on defense next year. She was a joy to watch dribbling out of the circle either in the air or popping it over defenders’ sticks. More importantly, she was not a complainer and worked to keep the team on course as Co-Captain. Her personality and leadership will take her far.”  Ashlyn’s co-captain Maya Block says that “Ashlyn Cherrix is one of the most grounded, dedicated and caring people I have ever met. She is the glue to our team, on the field and off it.”
